Answer

B. The osmotic pressure will be greater for the solution than for the pure water.

Step-by-step explanation

Osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the number of solute particles in a given amount of solvent. The more number of solute particles in a solution, the more would be its osmotic pressure.
